Sex Ed Wars In Wisconsin - "Show Condoms To A Kid And You Go To Jail" Says District Attorney
"A Wisconsin district attorney is urging schools to drop their sex-education programs, warning that the teachers involved could be arrested if they follow a new state law requiring them to instruct students on how to use condoms and other contraceptives. [...] The state law, called the Healthy Youth Act, took effect in March. Starting this fall, it requires schools with sex-education courses to teach students medically accurate, age-appropriate information, including how to use birth control and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. It also requires the classes to include information about how to recognize signs of abuse and how alcohol can affect decision making.
Parents will be permitted to remove their children from sex-education classes, as they could under previous state law. Schools also will be allowed the choice of whether to offer sex education, but must notify parents if they decide not to.
In his letter, (District Attorney) Southworth told school district leaders the new law promotes sexual assault of children, and warns that teachers who follow the law could be charged with misdemeanor or felony delinquency of a minor, with maximum punishments ranging from nine months in jail to six years in prison.

If kids learn about condoms and how to use them, they will use them because somewhere in their horny brains they know it is the smart thing to do.
Thanks to the internet, most kids have a lot of access to this information anyways, even if all the adults in their life are trying to pretend that sex doesn't exist.
OneCondoms.com has a street team set up that has it's members spread safe sex awareness through all the social networking sites kids are already using.
Pretty cool, if I do say so myself. :)
